Best comic EVAH is too much hyperbole for me, but it does look promising.
Not best *comic* EVAH (the whole issue, that is) -- but the last page is (allegedly) the best page of comics EVAH. Still a lot of hype. We'll see.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Yeah. I've found they're not their own best judges of that, really.

I'm just trying to imagine what in the hell would make it the best page EVAR. Superman rips off his Superman mask to reveal that he's Vicki Vale? Batman dances the Batusi?

Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman three-way.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
This is a comic book guy saying this. It would have to be a Batman/Wonder Woman/Power Girl threeway.

No, he read it in some interview with a VP at DC.

The last 60 years of canon have all been the dream of a very young Lex Luthor.

Of course, because of the manga explosion, DC could make the argument that making Bruce/Clark a little more explicit makes financial sense.

Given the wrong-headedness DC have been exhibiting lately, it will be a reveal that Barry Allen is alive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Quote from Mark Waid on the tenor of the universe post-Crisis:
The good new is, and I guarantee you this, when we’re on the other side of the CRISIS, those days [of dark super-heroes] are GONE. Just gone. We’re sick to death of heroes who are not heroes, we’re sick to death of darkness. Not that there’s no room, not that Batman should act like Adam West, but that won’t be the overall feeling. After all this stuff, after everything shakes down, we’re done with heroes being dicks. No more we screwed each other and now we must pay the consequences. No, we’re super-heroes and that’s what we do. Batman’s broken. Through no ONE person’s fault, but he’s a dick now. And we’ve been told we can fix that.
Hmm. I hope they don't fix it too much.
